My Underachieving Seatmate Doesn’t Need Any Comforting

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

Qiao Shao, who worked hard to stay up all night and study, was first in class — if you count from the bottom.

He Shen, who was able to get a perfect score even when he slept all day, in a rare display of kindness, bought a bottle of drink to comfort his s*upid seatmate.

Then he saw the messages popping up on Qiao Shao’s phone—

Dad: Don’t panic, it’s okay if you didn’t do well in the exam. Dad just ordered a new sports car for you.

Granddad: Grandson, there’s no need to hurry. It’s alright even if you didn’t do well in your exam. Granddad bought a new yacht for you, come and take a break.

Grandpa: Grandson, don’t cry, it’s okay if you didn’t do well in the exam. Grandpa’s billions-worth of properties are all yours.

With a blank expression, He Shen threw his 2.5 Yuan worth bottle of drink into the tr*sh.

Hold your horses! Comfort?

-Somehow, I don't find this sweet and fluffy at all. It seems rather corny to me. I don't feel any chemistry between MC and ML. And their supposedly lines/words of affection? God, it sounds embarrassing and cheesy.

-Very slow-paced, and it doesn't really fit this kind of plot at all. The dragging just takes away the excitement I felt.

-The plot is very mediocre and cliché (who said it isn't? such a liar). I just lost some of my braincells after reading this. I know this is fiction but for a modern... more>> one? This is just absurd. Is this written by a 13-year-old? It's so like the typical Wattpad stories.

-Most of the characters don't appear likeable to me. They're so like the typical side characters. About MC, ugh, I don't get him at all. I just... don't understand him. I can't tolerate people of his type, really. ML is fine but he could literally be just a friend and the story would be removed from the BL genre. They're just so bland for me. There was no spark that could possibly start a fire inside me.

-It was revealed to everyone in the end that they're actually rich. Tbh, I only read this for that scene. Was I rickrolled? No, but my patience was wearing thin. I simply lost interest since they revealed it so late.

A rating of 3 perfectly suits this. I would probably forget abt this just a week later bc it's not really that noteworthy. Fine for a timekiller. But personally, big meh. Don't let this stop you from reading it, just see things for yourself. <<less

This was so overwhelmingly sweet. It did manage to pull at my heartstrings at times, but it was such a comforting novel to read after reading so many high-tension 'big brain' novels. It was an easy read and if you're looking for something that is easy to read but still has enough emotional depth to get you invested, this is for you.

SUCH A MASTERPIECE. I can't elaborate any further as I'm still bawling my eyes out rn. This is such a good psychological/highschool BL novel. All of the side characters are also as remarkable as the leads. *Sobs*

i absolutely LOVED this novel. It's very fluffy, and quite hilarious too. The ML is really sweet and the MC is too adorable 🥺

the process of the characters healing from their traumas with the help of each other's friendship and love is a beautiful one. If you're reading this, I recommend you read this novel. I hope you like it as much as I did <3

When reading in the comments, I thought the book was going to be really emotionally heavy. However I was pleasantly surprised. That's how I would describe it - Hilarious !! Super cute and fluffy. Of course there is a traumatic past that really helps you keep on the edge. And the story is really well paced. Quite satisfied. Not much passionate scene/description towards the end, but they are quite few cute kisses.

Super cute fluffy high school romance. ML is very flirty and MC is cute. There's a lot of hilarious misunderstandings and then also some angsty parts. 100% recommend.

Very sweet. They respect each others and teased each others. I admit the plot is kind of cliche, but you still enjoy it regardless.

One thing that I need to ask is what's up with all of this mommy issues background story author?

5 stars

(I do not know why it won't show how many stars I gave) Dropping this after chapter 110 just because I´ve had my fill of dogfood lolol, there might be 10 chapters left (or more if what is available isn´t all of it) but I feel the plot has already come to a conclusion and I am off to find and read more danmei instead of doing my school work.

Anyway, it is a bit different than what I expected since I was not expecting any seriousness at all... more>> haha. It was really good, I will say that to me I don't like that just because the MC meets the ML he magically starts to get better. I have never been in love before, so maybe love really does give you a source of strength and comfort that helps you heal, but to me, that part was a bit iffy. I feel like that was something he should have resolved on his own, and the ML would just be there to support him instead of being the solution. Don´t get me wrong, his issues don´t actually magically disappear, there are a resolution and struggle in the story, I just felt like for how serious of an issue it is that it was a bit too easy and the ML had too much impact on how it affected MC. I am not taking a star off for that though, just wanted to mention it.

It was really a cute story and I enjoyed it. The MC is the tiny and cute type with a big pride and a traumatic past that he struggles with, MC is the tall and handsome slacker type who is actually really smart and not actually that social, he also has a bit of a traumatic past and it definitely shows how that affects him, but he does not obviously show that struggle/it does not affect his everyday life at all.

ALSO!!!! THEIR REAL IDENTITIES TAKE A REALLY LONG TIME TO REVEAL!!!!! I can not remember exactly when it was revealed, but somewhere around chapter 90-100, idrk, but it took a long time. Which is fine, just that I was NOT expecting it lolol. It is a really cute read and the fluff is very nice so totally recommend it to anyone who reads this :) <<less

It was so sweet despite the MC & ML having gone through such terrible hardships. I like that it didn't linger to much on their trauma so it's no a lot of angst and a relatively low risk of being triggered I think. It handled the mental issues okay but thankfully didn't shame anyone for for their mental state or issues. It was a funny and sweet story with good character development for the MC. The ML didn't really have a lot of character development but You did get to... more>> understand my him a bit more. The story mostly focused on the MC & ML 's relationship and overcoming their hardships was secondary. Their struggles we're solved quickly and easily, which is fine since that's not what I wanted ready this story for. I wanted to read something sweet, fluffy, pure, and funny or should I say mischievous (... Looking at you ML 😆). Very good story. I recommend it if you want a break from a heavy story with too much angst, or drama. <<less

I love Qiao Xiao a lot, like a lot. I think that the way the author wrote him was reasonable enough.
Spoiler

A huge chunk of his childhood was stolen from him with his kidnapping, PTSD and the death of his mother.

[collapse]
It only makes sense that he's trying act his cheerful, active and determined self because he doesn't want his family to get worried about him. I adored the small bit of naïvety that he has in him after everything. Qiao Xiao also isn't OP. Sure he was insanely rich but instead of his character getting watered down as is the case with most OP and wealthy second generation characters, MC managed to make himself stand out. He was honest, hardworking and very lovable. This, in turn, made his development and recovery feel organic to me.

ML was superb. He was very typical in some aspects but he wasn't much of an overbearing cave man because most of tne time he was just the right amount of doting and teasing. Although I would admit that ML's background felt a bit rushed to me if you compare it to the MC's development.

I also adored the side characters so I was disappointed with how Chen Su was set aside right after his problem was solved. When he was introduced I had high hopes for his presence since he was written out to be such an important friend to the MC only to ne barely mentioned to give way for the CP's development.

Spoiler

By the way, I don't know if I missed it or something but did the author mention how exactly the ML and his school tyrant friend ended up so close?

[collapse]

Overall this is a pretty solid read. The sh*t ton of misunderstandings will make you laugh but also feel extremely frustrated.

Sweet and cute with comedic interaction between He Shen Shen and Qiao Shao Shao

Makes me chuckle while reading them together. No angst, a pure high school love.

I would like to see more of their life after high school XD

It's a mostly fluffy read, a nice story to pass the time. Some of the misunderstandings make for comedic moments. The couple coming together has a nice build-up to it.

Great read. The MC is amazing and his dialogues resonated with me. The ML is absolutely smitten, just how I like em

They help each other and people around them to grow into amazing human beings, and heal each others' traumatic wounds.

I love this author.

its very fluffy and good for a quick light read though I wouldnt recommend if you want a series to get attached to. Many situations in the book arent realistic and alot of traumatic experiences are used for the MC and ML to comfort and develop feelings for each other.

i really liked the side characters in this though especially blue hair lol hes so funny. I wish we could have seen a bit more about what happened to them later on in life

So this is about a young master who enrolled in a new school in hopes of his mental illness to get better and to do so he pretended to be poor and then he meets another young master who is a genius and can easily place himself as top 1 in his class compared to the other young master who is always placing last because of his illness despite all his efforts to study.

the story caused many misunderstandings between the characters especially the two main because they are both trying... more>> to hide their backgrounds but despite these misunderstandings they were able to resolve them all once their relationship developed. It can be frustrating because it feels like the MC thinks too much about his identity being exposed but I think its quite reasonable for him to act this way.

the romance is fluffy and the interactions between the two main is very funny with their constant teasing, but at the same time it also dwells on heavy topics such. There are mistakes here and there with the timeline but its definitely a fun read. The MC is adorable and admirable and the ML is just amazing, and the side characters are very amusing. <<less

This novel is SOO CUTE.I actually found this by accident from chrysanthemum garden while browsing what to read next. And boy it sure was fate! To discover such an enjoyable read.

Well it's true the timeline seems a bit off and there are lil errors here and there. But the story and characters make up for the gap. Personally I don't really mind these lil bit of errors cos I think it's still worth it. So if u r looking for a light, short, fluffy, funny, touching, with a lil bit... more>> of tear jerking (in a good way) story, this novel is definitely recommended.

And not forgetting big thanks for the CG translation team for always bringing great translations! <<less

Lots of sweetness with a dash of bitter.

MC has a childhood trauma and ML comes from a broken family. This story is about two hurt people healing each other.

MC is intelligent and comes from a warm, loving family. He is the most doted on child ever. This keeps him innocent and kind in-spite of his suffering. MC wants to get better not only for himself but also for his family. ML is a genius who has suffered at the hands of his family. ML is a tool for them.

There are... more>> logical holes in the story but they are not jarring. The side characters are well fleshed out and have enough "screen time".

Recommended read. <<less
